“Donald Trump has said it’s a terrible deal and that he will repeal the deal,” said Boteach. “I think it’s clear who stands with Israel.”

In an interview with Israel Hayom, Trump spoke out against the Iranian deal.

“I think that the threat to Israel right now is greater than it has ever been because of what happened with Iran and the Iran deal made by President Obama. I think it is a horrible, horrible situation that our president has placed Israel in and I think that Obama has been very, very bad for the people of Israel,” Trump said.

In that interview, in which Trump said he would visit Israel “soon,” Trump explained that his comments saying allies might have to pay for military support was not an indication of reduced support for Israel.
